2. make the
yeast slurry by mixing the hand warm water with the yeast and sugar. Give it a
stir and leave it on a warm spot to develop, 10-15 minutes. It will become
foamy.

3. mix the
flour mix with salt, flax and psyllium in a bowl. Set aside.

4. make the
filling by toasting and chopping the nuts and mixing with the other ingredients.

5. when the
yeast mix is ready, pour in a dash of apple cider vinegar and the olive oil and
pour everything into the flour mixture. Stir till it forms a sticky dough. Add
chopped nuts and fruit and fold them in. It must be sticky, so when the dough
is too dry add some warm water!

Put a piece
of cling film over the bowl and let the dough rest/rise on a warm spot for at
least 1 hour.

6. put the
dough on a piece of baking paper and flatten it out into a rectangle of 23 x 18
cm, not too neat ;-) a bit rustic is ok. Divide the almond paste in a roll
lengthwise on the dough and fold over the dough. Press the sides lightly.

Put the
bread with the paper on a baking tray, cover again with cling film and let it
rest/rise for a second time on a warm spot for another hour.

7. pre heat
the oven on 180°C and bake the stolen for 35-40 minutes in the middle of the
oven till golden-brown. I did not use any egg wash on top to keep it vegan, you
can if you want to get a glossy finish. Let it cool completely before cutting.

Over mij

Since november 2007 celiac disease has been diagnosed with me and did I start with the gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I'm very interested in health and food issues. And besides, I Love Cooking. I think cooking is creating. I'm not content with the gluten free range of products in the shops in Holland, so I make most of the food myself. I think gluten free food must be healthy, real food, but above all very tasty. Also non-celiacs must (and they do!) enjoy my food.
I am 50 years old and I live, together with my son, in Rotterdam, Holland.***
Sinds november 2007 is bij mij coeliakie geconstateerd en ben ik begonnen met een glutenvrij dieet. Ik ben erg geïnteresseerd in gezondheid en voeding. Daarnaast ben ik gek op koken. Ik ben niet tevreden over het aanbod van glutenvrije artikelen in de winkels, dus maak ik vrijwel alles zelf. Glutenvrij eten moet lekker zijn, gezond en ook voor niet-coeliakers aantrekkelijk zijn.
